Perfect start to the day.

Up at 500 AM.

Put some music on.
Cleaned eyeglasses.
Careful and diligent hand wash.
Facial scrub with face brush.
Shaved.
Flossed.
Water pik.
Tongue scraper.
Mouthwash.
Brushed teeth.
Hot shower that finished on the massage setting.
Breakfast bowl.
Toast.
Coffee.
Trash cans emptied.
First load of wash started.

Are you wondering why I posted this?

I'll tell you why.

It's because this is as good as it gets for me since March 2020.

This is it.

Nothing more exciting than this ever happens.

THIS IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

PLEASE REJOICE WITH ME.

Sometimes I'll go out to the garage and hop on the elliptical in the morning, but I'm currently working on a gel stain project and the device is carefully wrapped up in a tarp because I splatter the stain all over the place.

I hope to continue on the project this afternoon if my supplies arrive in the mail.

2. What about your pencil jar?

Aren't you going to re-organize your pencil jar?

Such a bold, trend-setting action could transport you from regular old "happiest days of my life" to "supreme sublime ecstasy."

No one ever suggested.

I'm excited as I just signed up for a virtual drawing class to begin tomorrow through my senior center.

They have amazing programming! I've learned about gardening, have gotten behind-the-scenes (virtual) tours of zoos, etc., etc., etc. &, of course, learned lots of techniques in the arts.

If you have a senior center near you, do take a few minutes to check it out!

Virtual drawing sounds like fun!

It's always good to keep your mind active, especially during these times.

My OP was sort of tongue in cheek...I actually keep quite busy. I like to make things with wood...currently refinishing our dining room set.

There is a Senior Center within a few miles from me. Before Covid, I used to go there to eat once in awhile. They put on great meals!

The Madoc and Gryff weren't going to let me sleep in, this morning, so I figured I might as well get everyone taken care of. Mittens the Kitten enjoyed some scritches and she even stretched up to look through the window and meow 'good morning' to her cousin, Madoc.

Not a bad start to the day. Hopefully it's a sign of how the rest of it will go.

It's a delight having a substantial portion of my tea holdings gaining depth and complexity as it ages, rather than growing weaker or stale.
